Brake Failure Thinking Due To Wear And Tear– Brakes serviced — New Brake Pads On Front Back Pads Still Good — Brake Cylinder Had To Be Replaced On Front Passenger Side — Brakes Bled Off Still No Brakes Only Have Brakes If Pump Them Continuously — At The Moment Still In Shop Trying To Find A Master Cylinder To Replace The One In It To See If That Will Fix The Problem

On September 20, 2015, The Abs And Traction Control Lights Came On And Didn’t Go Off. Upon Investigation, I Discovered That There Was In Fact A Recall On The 2012toyotatacoma; However, It Did Not Include My Vin Number. I Contacted Both Our Local Dealership And toyota Directly And Was Told That There Were Not Any Plans At This Time To Expand The Recall To Include My Vehicle. I Can Not Tell If These Components Are Working Or Not As I Have Not Driven In Ice, Snow, Etc And Had A Need For Them To Engage. But At The Same Time, I Don’t Want To Wait Until A Time In Which I Do Need Them And They Be Inoperable.

Brakes On Vehicle Lock-up And Are Overly Sensitive. On Many Occasions When Driving On Wet Pavement At Slows Speeds The Abs Engaged And Locked The Brakes With Only Very Light Pressure On The Brake Pedal. On One Occasion When Driving At 10-15 Mph In A Parking Lot In Snow, A Light Touch To The Brake Locked Up The Brakes Causing The Vehicle To Become Unstable And Crash. I Have Had Four Other toyota Trucks, Three Of Them tacomas And None Of Them Had This Braking Issue. Barely Pressing The Brakes Shouldn’t Cause Them To Lock Up Which Causes The Vehicle To Become Very Unstable. Luckily It Does It More Often At Low Speeds. It’s A Major Safety Concern As The Vehicle Becomes Undrivable.

Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 82000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5TFUU4EN1CX. TOYOTATACOMA 2012 problem was reported in RENO, NV. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 10 mph.

This Has Been Going On Since My Purchase In 2012. Thankfully I Have Not Been In An Accident Due To This But Lots Of Close Calls. toyota Refuses To Resolve This Issue, And Denys That It Happens.

Shortly After Buying My tacoma New I Noticed That My Anti-lock Brakes Were Sensitive And Would Lock Up Without Warning And The Stopping Distance Can Vary Every Time I Apply The Brakes. I Brought This Up To My Dealer’s service Department During Routine Oil Changes And Was Told That This Is Normal. The Varied Stopping Distance Causes Problems Since The Truck Could Suddenly Stop Shorter Than Normal And Catch Traffic Behind Me Off Guard And Cause An Accident. Other Times It Feels Like The Brakes Aren’t Working Even Though I Am Pressing Firmly And Wondering If I’m Going To Stop In Time To Avoid Hitting A Car In Front Of Me. On Emergency Quick Stops My Brakes Will Lock Up And With The Varied Stopping Distances I’m Surprised I Haven’t Been In A Position Where The Stopping Distance In An Emergency Was More Than Normal Causing Me To Crash. I Would Say That My Only Complaint So Far On This Truck Is The Brakes And Much Better Than The Truck That I Traded In Because Of Several Problems With It’s Electrical, Braking (it’s Brakes Were Poor But At Least You Could Stop When You Wanted), Build Quality, And Other Issues. This Clearly Isn’t Normal And If The Dealer Says It Is, How Can Someone Get It Fixed Without Trading It In. This Is The Only Issue I Have With This Truck But It’s Big Enough To Trade It In. I Spent $30k For This Truck And Would Rather Keep It But It Has Gotten To The Point That I Don’t Feel Safe Driving It.

Mileage was 1000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3TMLU4EN2CM. TOYOTATACOMA 2012 problem was reported in SOUTH OGDEN, UT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.

Driving At High Way Speed; The Abs Light, Parking Brake Light, Traction Light, Lost Power To Windows, A/c, Radio, Power Steering, Engine Was Running Rough, Then The Check Engine Light Came On. Could Be A Safety Issue Of Control Of Vehicle For Drivers Not Paying Attention. toyota Dealer Said The Root Cause Was A Bad Cell In Battery That Caused The Ign#2 Fuse To Be Blown. These Batteries Have Known Issues To Be Bad From The Factory. Reported Earlier About 30000 Miles The Factory Battery Would Not Start Vehicle And Dealer Said They Replaced Because Of A Bad Cell. I Own A 2008 toyotatacoma Also , Same Model And Make As Being Reported And That Battery Has Been Replaced 2 Times For Same Reason.

The Abs Actuates Prematurely During Cornering On Freeway On/off Ramps And In Corners Resulting In Suspension Dive, An Under Steer Condition, And Loss Of Vehicle Control. This Occurs When The Vehicle Is In Motion At Posted Speed Limits On Dry Pavement. I Have Contacted toyota/been To The Dealership Several Times About This Issue With No Resolution. They Claim That The Leveling Kit And At Tires Are To Blame. I Related That I Had This Issue With The Truck When It Was Brand New With No Modifications.
